| ==Jammer/James Martin==
| |
| In the latest webisode (7) Jammer was given the name James Martin, or at least thats what it sounds like. However it is not entirely clear. Can you please confirm the name for us please :) --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 15:12, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

| == Podcast for The Resistance webisodes ==
| |
| Mr. Thompson, I am dovetailing on comments made by Pedda under "Episode 13" of this page about a podcast for the Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance webisodes. Are either you or our reveered Ronald D Moore going to do a podcast for this? If none were planned, can we entice you to do one? I have to say that the podcast are a special thing and until this show I've never gotten into them. But now that I have, it's a fix for me.--[[User:Straycat0|Straycat0]] 22:21, 26 September 2006 (AST)

| :::Requests for Podcasts come from somewhere above in the SciFi.com universe. We did the one about Scar because Ron asked us to join him in his. So far no similar request has reached us. -[[User:Ngarenn|Ngarenn]] 16:12, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

| == Regarding Sebastian Spence's character ==
| |
|
| |
| Mr. Thompson, there's some confusion on the name of the ''Pegasus'' pilot portrayed by actor Sebastian Spence. [http://imdb.com/name/nm0817819/ According to IMDb], Spence played a character named [[Whiplash]] in both "Pegasus" and "Resurrection Ship, Part I"; however Ron D. Moore calls him "[[Narcho]]" (or something similar) during [[Podcast:Resurrection Ship, Part I|his podcast]] for "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]". Question is, what ''is'' the name (or call sign) of Spence's character, and is IMDb correct? Thank you. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 22:17, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

| ::Don't know about "Whiplash," but our records say that Sebastian Spence plays Lt. Noel "Narcho" Allison. - [[User:Ngarenn|Ngarenn]] 17:56, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

| == Webisode 9: Unclear Dialogue ==
| |
|
| |
| When Jammer leaves the detention, he asks Tyrol how did he know. Tyrol's response has caused some debate in the the various online communities, including "Boomer told me.", "Rumor told me.", etc. Really not important unless it is "Boomer told me." Thanks, --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 11:31, 3 October 2006 (CDT)
| |
| And "Ol' Frank told me", "little bird told me", etc. Quite a lot of variations. [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 12:48, 3 October 2006 (CDT)
| |
|
| |
| Actually we've analyzed it now and are confident that it's "Boomer told me". [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 19:41, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

| == Comments by Mr. Thompson & Mr. Weddle about webisodes ==
| |
| Mr. Thompson, in regards to your and Mr. Weddle's [http://www.chud.com/index.php?type=interviews&id=7769 interview] at CHUD.com, I was hoping u could possibly elaborate a little on what u had envisioned for the future, WGA permitted, of webisdoes at Scifi.com. You and Mr. Weddle had made some interesting comments about "layered storytelling", but it didn't seem like the current webisodes, as wonderful as they are, are not exactly as u described. The way you described it was more like African Storytelling where there's not a signal plotline controlling the narrative but is more like real life where several issues are dealt with no connected dots. Or were you thinking about having backstories or a "While the story of episode X is going on, this was happening to Y character" when you click on a particular characters profile on the website? BSG always seems to be on the cutting edge of the entertainment industry and I guess you wetted my interest in tech with your story ideas for new ways of expanding the BSG universe so in whatever way you can elaborate would be most appreciated. :D [[User:Straycat0|Straycat0]] 17:41, 3 October 2006 (AST)

| ::What I was referring to are the myriad opportunities this new delivery system offers us in telling stories. (All the things you mentioned are viable ways to approach the opportunity.) "The Resistance" barely scratches the surface of those possibilities. And because they're not driven by the huge financial committment of a one-hour episode, we could tell these littler stories that feed the bigger ones. This opportunity for texture gives the world of Galactica a greater sense of real people living in an extraordinary situation that feels real. When you see a character walk on and deliver one line and leave - the web allows us a way to see that the character is a whole person with a life, goals and aspirations that tangentially touches the bigger story, the way your life touches a grocery clerk's, or the postman touches yours. Reminds me a little of Tom Stoppard's Rosencranz and Guildenstern are Dead, or the ST: TNG show: "Lower Decks." I'm also reminded of "Lola Rennt" (Run Lola Run) where the filmmaker took time to flash frames of the later lives of people Lola encountered on her main story. It's a rich new world opening up -- and nobody's quite sure yet how to exploit it. But the possibilities are exciting. - [[User:Ngarenn|Ngarenn]] 17:46, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

| :::Don't you sometimes wish you were on premium cable where episodes can easily run 45-60 minutes as needed? Lots of shows there have scenes that don't contribute to the story per se, but are great for fleshing out the world or the characters. I think BSG would benefit immensly from that, but it'll never happen --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 17:54, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

| ::::We're happy to be where we are. We get to leave everybody (including ourselves) wanting more, which is a good thing. Fortunately, the world of DVDs gives us the chance to tell the long versions of some of these stories ("Pegasus") or to show deleted scenes (like the backstory of Adama and Tigh in "Scattered/Valley of Darkness"). Sometimes the limitations of the broadcast format actually forces us to be more creative than we'd otherwise be.

| :::::Just food for thought, I do find myself going to the website and checking out profiles on the various ships in the fleets and wondering, "Hmmm.. what's going on there?" The events of the main storyline have huge ramifications to all the people in the fleet and you could tell a small story on a small set with very little SGI that tells a 1 - 5 minute story of what was going on the Space Park (everybody's favorite fleet ship not in the main story because of its most distinctive shape) when the fleet was in orbit around New Caprica and the Fleet jumped away. It could be somebody at the bridge of that ship communicating with his friends down on the surface when things are happening, trying to get a hold of the Adama's, and so on and the whole story could be told in just that 1 room, or maybe the 1 room and 1 comm spot on the surface. I'm not trying to do your job for you, I'm just musing about it because I think it's cool. And these things could be paid for by the websites themselves or DVD sales. I hope NBC gets it financial act together on this. --[[User:Straycat0|Straycat0]] 17:09, 5 October 2006 (AST)
